David, GnuCash calculates a number of balances which are updated as transactions are added. The complete XML data file is loaded in when GnuCash starts up to generatie these balances consistently so little time at startup would be saved and by not retaining the data in memory, this data would have to be reloaded each time a transaction is entered. It should be possible to load and calculate the balance data once at startup and then just work with increments to the balances that occur during a session. Even with the database backends, all the data is loaded at startup. Some of this is historical to do with the initial design of the GnuCash engine.
